25 The amount that Zoe had in the end is repeated. Make the amount that Zoe had in the end the same. LM of 2 and 1 is 4.
Total amount given to Zoe and Ivan
= 12 u + 5 u
= 17 u
17 u = 170
1 u = 170 ÷ 17 = 10
Amount that Zoe received from her father
= 12 u
= 12 x 10
= $120
(b)
Amount that Ivan deposited
= 3 u
= 3 x 10
= $30
Savings that Ivan had at first = 100%
Savings that Ivan had in the end
= 100% + 40%
= 140%
40% of the savings = 30
1% of the savings =
3040140% of the savings = 140 x
3040 = 105
Ivan's savings in the end = $105
Answer(s): (a) $120; (b) $105
